- Method Detail
  - copyTo
```
public java.lang.Object copyTo(java.lang.Object target)
```
    Description copied from interface: Copyable
    Copies the internal state of this object to the specified copy. If copy is null, then this method should create a new instance of this class and proceed to copy the internal state to the newly created object. Generally, only the persistent state of the object should be copied, but whether or not it is appropriate to copy transient properties is at the discretion of the individual implementor.
    Regardless of whether the copy occurs to an existing object or to a newly created object, the return value is object to which this object's state was copied.
    
    There is a standard implementation pattern for the copyTo method that helps avoid problems that arise when a Copyable object is subclassed. The pattern is:
    public Object copyTo( Object target ) { final <this_class> copy = target != null ? (<this_class>) target : new <this_class>(); copyToImpl( copy ); return copy; } protected final void copyToImpl( <this_class> copy ) { super.copyToImpl( copy ); // if necessary // put code here for copying the properties of <this_class> }
    The parameter passed into the copyToImpl method is the same type of this class. The responsibility of copyToImpl is to copy the state of this class through direct access of the fields. The copyToImpl method should not use getters and setters since these may be overridden, causing the state of this class to be incompletely copied.
    Specified by:
    
    copyTo in interface Copyable
    
    Parameters:
    
    target - The target object to which the state of this object should be copied. If target is null, then the copyTo method will return a new instance of this class.
    
    Returns:
    
    The object to which the state of this object was copied. If the target was non-null, then the return value is the same as the target object that was passed in; otherwise, the return value is a new instance of this class.
  - equals
```
public final boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(DBObjectID id,
             boolean strict)
```
    Description copied from interface: DBObjectID
    
    Whether the specified id is equivalent to this id. A strict comparison checks that the ids are identifying exactly the same object. A non-strict comparison varies by implementation, but basically checks whether the object identified has the same basic details (e.g name/type and name/type of parent).
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface DBObjectID
    
    Parameters:
    
    id - the DBObjectID being checked for equality
    
    strict - whether a strict definition of equality should be used.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the id is equal to this
  - getType
```
public java.lang.String getType()
```
    Description copied from interface: DBObjectID
    
    Retrieves the type of object referenced by this id.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getType in interface DBObjectID
    
    Returns:
    
    the type of object
    
    See Also:
    
    DBObject.getType()
  - getParent
```
public DBObjectID getParent()
```
    Returns null.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getParent in interface DBObjectID
  - resolveID
```
public DBObject resolveID()
                   throws DBException
```
    Description copied from interface: DBObjectID
    
    Resolves the id into the object referenced. Not all DBObjectIDs will resolve, this can return null if the id definition is incomplete, or if the object referenced cannot be found.
    
    Specified by:
    
    resolveID in interface DBObjectID
    
    Returns:
    
    the DBObject referenced by this DBObjectID
    
    Throws:
    
    DBException
  - resolveOriginalID
```
public DBObject resolveOriginalID()
                           throws DBException
```
    Get the original object which this temporary one was copied from. Can return null if the id had no original object.
    
    Throws:
    
    DBException

    findOriginalObject(oracle.javatools.db.TemporaryObjectID)
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
  - createID
```
public static DBObjectID createID(DBObject obj)
```
    Creates a new DBObjectID pointing to a specific object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the DBObject referenced by this ID
    
    Returns:
    
    a DBObjectID pointing to the specified object
  - setID
```
public static void setID(DBObject obj,
         boolean recurse)
```
    If the given object doesn't have an ID, this sets a new TemporaryObjectID on the object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the DBObject referenced by this ID
    
    recurse - whether to set TemporaryObjectIDs on obj's descendents
  - createID
```
public static DBObjectID createID(DBObject obj,
                  DBObject original)
```
    Creates a new DBObjectID pointing to a specific object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the DBObject referenced by this ID
    
    original - the DBObject which has been copied to create the temporary object
    
    Returns:
    
    a DBObjectID pointing to the specified object
  - findOriginalID
```
public static DBObjectID findOriginalID(TemporaryObjectID id)
```
    Finds the original most ID in the given TemporaryObjectID's "original object" heirachy. Returns null if the original most object has no ID, or has a TemporaryObjectID that has no original object.
  - findOriginalObject
```
public static DBObject findOriginalObject(TemporaryObjectID id)
```
    Returns the original object's id, or null if there is no original object. If the original object also has a temp id then it recurses. This will therefore only return an object that is an original on a temp id, and does not have a temp id of its own.
    
    Returns:
    
    the original object from the (potential chain of) temporary copying.
  - findOriginalObject
```
public static <T extends DBObject> T findOriginalObject(T obj)
```
    Finds the original object for the given object, if the given object is a copy with a TemporaryObjectID.
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the copy to find the original for
    
    Returns:
    
    the original object, or null if obj is null or its id isn't a TemporaryObjectID with an original.
